Pigs in Blankets: The Most Adorable Rare Sheep-Pig-Hybrid Things of All Time?

Look at this! Sheep pigs! Not only are they the most whimsical creatures ever, according to science, but they have the best nicknames, too: pigs in blankets. The “Mangalitzas,” as they’re actually called, are from Austria and Hungary, and a whole pack—herd? school? pride?—of them has just arrived at the Tropical Wings Zoo in Essex, England. British people love these things, apparently: Emma Thompson, for some reason, took one on a leash to a movie premiere one time. “Everybody who walks past them stops because they want to know if they are pigs or sheep. We’ve got them here as part of a breeding programme to make sure this fascinating breed does not become extinct,” said a Tropical Wings Zoo employee of Buddy, Porsche, and Margot. One pig in blanket, Porsche, might be pregnant already, which means one thing: baby pigs in blankets! All we need now is an iPad for them to play with.
